Summary - 17 MANOR LANE SHRIVENHAM SWINDON SN6 8AD
1 bed 1 bath Terraced
Compact, renovated village retreat ideal for first buyers or holiday-let investors.
Grade II listed thatched cottage with strong period character
A compact Grade II listed thatched cottage presented with careful recent refurbishment and authentic period character. Exposed beams, a brick fireplace and flagstone-style hall give genuine cottage appeal, while Velux-lit kitchen and modern shower room provide usable, contemporary living. The property has been well maintained with a new thatch (2016), new fuse board (2020) and a new front door (2024).
The footprint is small and efficiently arranged: ground-floor sitting room, kitchen and shower room, with a double bedroom and eaves storage above. Its size and layout suit a single occupant, couple or seasonal visitor rather than a family needing substantial internal space. There is no gas supply; heating and appliances rely on electricity.
Outside, a paved forecourt provides private off-street parking for two cars and a small west-facing garden offers a lawn, seating and planted borders. The compact plot is easy to maintain but thatched roofing entails specialist upkeep and periodic re-thatching costs.
Important practical notes: Grade II listing brings planning and maintenance constraints that can complicate alterations and repairs. Buildings insurance and specialist thatch cover are necessary (owner pays approx. £360–370 pa at present). The cottage is freehold and newly renovated, making it attractive as a lock‑up‑and‑leave retreat or a holiday-let/long-term rental, subject to listing consent and suitability checks for short-term letting.
